Method of forming color image from a color reversal photographic material comprising a specified iodide content and spectral distribution
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to a method of forming a color image and, more particularly, to a method forming a color image using a color reversal photographic material having improved color reproducibility. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     There is an extreme variety of objects which are to be photographed by color reversal films. Of such objects, some are desired to be photographed at a high shutter speed under a limited light. For example, in photographing a moving object such as in sports, a photographic picture with no blurs cannot be obtained unless the shutter is released at a high speed, i.e., unless the exposure time is shortened. 
     On the other hand, if the diaphragm of a camera is opened to a large extent, depth of field becomes smaller, and hence it becomes difficult to adjust the focus. Therefore, in photographing a moving object, too, a good photographic picture cannot be taken unless the diaphragm is considerably closed and a short exposure time is employed. For such purposes, light-sensitive materials with an ordinary sensitivity of 100 in ISO are insufficient in sensitivity. 
     Sports and other activities are in many cases conducted under indoor illumination or night illumination as well as under outdoor day light in the day time. In many cases, high speed films are used under indoor illumination or night illumination not only for sports. For such illumination, mercury lamps, fluorescent lamps, tungsten light, etc. are used alone or in combination. These lights are extremely different from day light in color temperature. In photographing under such illumination, a color temperature-converting filter is used for correcting color balance. However, such a filter is not of much practical use since there results a photographic finish with deteriorated sharpness and a high-speed shutter release cannot be employed due to reduction in light amount when such a filter is applied to a camera lens. On the other hand, when a high-speed color negative film is used in photographing under lights of various color temperature, color balance can be corrected when printing even if the difference in color temperature of the light source is not corrected by using a filter, and hence color unbalance of the printed picture is comparatively small. 
     However, when a color reversal film is used under such conditions, the finished photographic pictures show a large color unbalance due to lack of the above-described color correction. 
     Professional photographers often use their photographic pictures as originals for printing and, in such cases, they mostly employ color reversal films. 
     One of the extremely important photographic performance characteristics of high-speed color reversal film for day-light use is that change in color balance due to difference in exposure light source should be small, and hence it has been desired to provide color reversal films with such performance characteristic. 
     JP-B-49-6207 (corresponding to French Patent 2,004,376) (the term &#34;JP-B&#34; as used herein means an &#34;examined Japanese patent publication&#34;) discloses a spectral sensitivity distribution for minimizing change in color balance for various photographing light sources. 
     However, this technique unavoidably involves deterioration of color reproducibility, and hence it has been eagerly desired to develop high-speed color reversal films undergoing less change in color balance due to differences in color temperature of the exposing light source without deterioration of color reproducibility. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of forming a color image using a high-speed color reversal photographic light-sensitive material which has a high sensitivity and an excellent color reproducibility and which undergoes less change in color balance due to difference in the exposing light source. 
     The above-described and other objects of the present invention can be attained by a method of forming a color image which comprises subjecting a silver halide color reversal photographic material to imagewise exposure and then to color reversal processing, said color reversal photographic material comprising a support having provided thereon at least one cyan coupler-containing red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one magenta coupler-containing green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one yellow coupler-containing blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer with the light-sensitive silver halide emulsions in said photographic material having an average silver iodide content of up to 5 mol %, a wavelength corresponding to the peak of spectral sensitivity distribution of the red-sensitive emulsion layer is in a range between 615 and 640 nm, a wavelength in shorter wavelength side of the spectral sensitivity distribution at which the sensitivity is 80% of the peak is in a range between 600 and 633 nm, a wavelength at which the sensitivity is 50% of the peak is in a range between 585 and 625 nm, a wavelength at which the sensitivity is 25% of the peak is in a range between 570 and 615 nm, a wavelength in longer wavelength side of the spectral sensitivity distribution at which the sensitivity is 80% of the peak is in a range between 620 and 648 nm, a wavelength at which the sensitivity is 50% of the peak is in a range between 625 and 655 nm, a wavelength at which the sensitivity is 25% of the peak is in a range between 630 and 665 nm, and the wavelength difference between the wavelength on the longer wavelength side at which the sensitivity is 25% of the peak and that on the shorter wavelength side at which the sensitivity is 25% of the peak is in a range of 90 to 30 nm, and the light-sensitive emulsion layers and/or a substantially light insensitive hydrophilic colloidal layer has a means for providing interimage effect.

     Compounds represented by the general formula (IV) for achieving the interimage effect referred to in (2) are described below. 
     
         A-(Time).sub.t -X 
    
     In the general formula (IV), A means an oxidation-reduction mother nucleus and represents atoms capable of releasing -(Time) t  -X only when oxidized during photographic development processing, Time represents a timing group bound to A through a sulfur atom, a nitrogen atom or an oxygen atom, t represents an integer of 0 or 1, and X represents a development inhibitor. 
     Firstly, A in the general formula (IV) is described in detail below. As the oxidation-reduction mother nucleus represented by A, there are illustrated, for example, hydroquinone, catechol, p-aminophenol, o-aminophenol, 1,2-naphthalenediol, 1,4-naphthalenediol, 1,6-naphthalenediol, 1,2-aminonaphthol, 1,4 aminonaphthol, 1,6-aminonaphthol, etc. The amino groups are preferably substituted by a sulfonyl group containing 1 to 25 carbon atoms or an acyl group containing 1 to 25 carbon atoms. As the sulfonyl group, there are illustrated substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic sulfonyl groups and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic sulfonyl groups and, as the acyl group, there are illustrated substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic or substituted or unsubstituted aromatic acyl groups. A hydroxyl group or an amino group forming the oxidation-reduction mother nucleus of A may be protected by a protective group capable of being eliminated upon development processing.

     Diffusible 4-thiazoline-2-thione compounds referred to in (4) above for achieving the interimage effect are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,536,487, and N- substituted 4-thiazoline-2-thione compounds referred to in (4) above for achieving the interimage effect are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,723,125. 
     Silver halide emulsions containing surface-fogged silver halide grains referred to in (5) above for achieving the interimage effect are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,082,553, and silver halide emulsions containing interior-fogged silver halide grains referred to in (6) above for achieving the interimage effect are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,626,498. 
     The silver halide emulsions containing surface-fogged or interior fogged grains referred to in (5) or (6) mean silver halide emulsions which, when coated to form a photographic light-sensitive material, are capable of being developed uniformly (non imagewise) in both non-exposed areas and exposed areas. 
     The silver halide emulsion containing interior-fogged silver halide grains is an emulsion which comprises core/shell type silver halide grains each composed of a surface-fogged inner nucleus of silver halide grain and an outer shell of silver halide covering the surface of the inner nucleus, and which is scarcely developed in the initial stage of development but is developed in a proportion of 30% or more of the whole silver amount regardless of exposure or non exposure of the light-sensitive material in a color reversal development which contains sensitizing and desensitizing processings. 
     The silver halide emulsion containing surfacefogged grains may be prepared by adding a reducing agent or a gold salt to an emulsion capable of forming a surface latent image under conditions of proper pH and pAg, by heating the emulsion at a low pAg, or by uniformly exposing the emulsion. As the reducing agent, there may be used stannous chloride, hydrazine compounds, ethanolamine, etc. 
     Interior-fogged silver halide grains may be prepared by depositing silver halide on the surface of the above-described surface-fogged silver halide grains to form an outer shell. 
     Solution physical development may be adjusted in time with development by changing the thickness of the outer shell of the interior-fogged core/shell type silver halide grains. 
     The preferable thickness of the outer shell varies depending upon development processing, developing time, timing of developing each light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, etc., but is usually 30 to 1,000 Å, particularly preferably 50 to 500 Å which enables good results to be obtained. 
     The silver halide forming the inner nucleus of the interior fogged core/shell type silver halide grains and silver halide forming the outer shell may be the same or different from each other in halide composition. 
     As the interior or surface-fogged silver halide, any of silver chloride, silver chlorobromide, silver bromoiodide, silver chlorobromoiodide, etc. may be used. 
     These fogged silver halide grains are not particularly limited as to grain size, but the size is preferably 0.01 to 0.75 μm, particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.6 μm, in terms of average grain size. 
     Grain form is not particularly limited, either, and the emulsion, may be a polydisperse emulsion, with a mono-disperse emulsion (wherein at least 95% by weight or number of the grains have grain size falling within ±40% of the average grain size) being preferable. 
     The silver halide emulsion referred to in (5) and (6) containing interior- or surface-fogged grains is added to at least one of the silver halide light-sensitive layer formed at the furthest position from the support and layers formed between the furthest layer and the support, and is preferably added to a silver halide light-sensitive layer. 
     Where two or more light-sensitive materials having the same color sensitivity and different sensitivities exist, the silver halide emulsion referred to in (5) and (6) is preferably added to a layer other than the most sensitive layer. 
     The amount of the silver halide emulsion containing interior- or surface-fogged silver halide grains to be used varies depending upon development processing conditions, development timing of an acceptive layer and a donative layer, etc., but is preferably 0.05 to 50 mol %, particularly preferably 0.1 to 40 mol %, based on the light-sensitive silver halide existing in the same or adjacent layer. 
     As to addition of colloidal silver described in (7) above for achieving the interimage effect, related descriptions are given in Research Disclosure (RD), No. 131, p. 13116, and the electron donor-releasing couplers described in (8) above for achieving the inerimage effect are described in JP-A-61-102646, JP-A-61-113060, U.S. Pat.

As DIR couplers capable of releasing a development inhibitor, those which are described in patents referred to in the foregoing RD 17643, VII F, JP A-57-151944, JP-A-57-154234, JP-A-60-184248, U.S. Pat. No. 4,248,962, etc. are preferable. 
     As couplers capable of imagewise releasing a nucleating agent or a development accelerator upon development, those which are described in British Patents 2,097,140, 2,131,188, JP-A-59-157638, JP-A-59-170840, etc. are preferable.

     Suitable supports which can be used in the present invention are described in, for example, the aforesaid Research Disclosure, No. 17643, p. 28, and ibid., No. 18716, p. 647, right column to p. 648, left column. 
     As an exposure light source for light-sensitive materials in the present invention for prints such as color reversal duplication, color reversal paper and color paper among the color photographic light-sensitive materials of the present invention, a wavelength-transducing element comprising a non-linear optical material is preferably used. 
     That is, such an element enables exposure with a red light, a green light and a blue light having an extremely narrow wavelength region and reduces color mixing in light-sensitive materials for print, which serves to improve color reproducibility. 
     In conducting color reversal processing, usually a black-and-white development is conducted before color development. 
     The color reversal processing is generally conducted as set forth below: 
     1) 1st development→water wash→reversal→color development→adjusting→bleaching→fixing→water wash→stabilization; 
     2) 1st development→water wash→reversal43 color development→bleaching→bleach-fixing→water wash→stabilization; 
     3) 1st development→water wash→photofogging →color development→bleach-fixing→water wash→stablization; or 
     4) prehardening→water wash→1st development →water wash→reversal→color development→stablization. 
     All the 1st developments described above are black-and-white developments. 
     In this black-and-white developer, known black-and-white developing agents such a dihydroxybenzenes (e.g., hydroquinone), 3-pyrazolidones (e.g., 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone), aminophenols (e.g., N-methyl-p-amino phenol), etc. may be used alone or in combination. 
     The color developer to be used for developing the light-sensitive material in the present invention is preferably an alkaline aqueous solution containing an aromatic primary amine color developing agent as a major ingredient. As this color-developing agent, p-phenylenediamine compounds are preferably used, though aminophenolic compounds are also useful. Typical examples thereof include 3-methyl-4-amino N,N-diethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-8-hydroxyethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-8-methanesulfonamidoethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-8-methoxyethylaniline. sulfates, hydrochlorides or p toluenesulfonates thereof, etc. These compounds may be used in combination of two or more depending upon the purposes. 
     The color developer generally contains a pH buffer agent such as an alkali metal carbonate, borate or phosphate, a development inhibitor or antifoggant such as a bromide, an iodide, a benzimidazole, a benzothiazole or a mercapto compound. If necessary, to the color developer may be added various preservatives such as hydroxylamine, diethylhydroxylamine, hydrazine sulfites, phenylsemicarbazides, triethanolamine, catecholsulfonic acids, triethylenediamine (1,4-diazabicyclo(2,2,2)octane), etc., an organic solvent such as ethylene glycol of diethylene glycol, a development accelerator such as benzyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, a quaternary ammonium salt or an amine, a dye-forming coupler, a competitive coupler, a fogging agent such as sodium borohydride, an auxiliary developing agent such as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, a viscosity imparting agent, various chelating agents represented by aminopolycarboxylic acids, aminopolyphosphonic acids, alkyl phosphonic acids, and phosphonocarboxylic acids. 
     pH values of these black-and-white developers and color developers are generally 9 to 12. 
     Color-developed photographic emulsion layers are usually bleached. Bleaching may be conducted independently or simultaneously with fixing (bleach-fixing). In order to promote the processing, bleach-fixing may be conducted after bleaching. Further, processing in two continuous bleach-fixing baths, fixing before bleach-fixing, or bleaching after bleach-fixing may freely be conducted as the case demands. As bleaching agents, compounds of polyvalent metals such as iron(III), cobalt(III), chromium(VI), copper(II), etc., peracids, quinones, nitro compounds, etc. are used. As typical bleaching agents, ferricyanides; dichromates; organic complex salts of iron(III) or cobalt(III), for example, complex salts of aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid, glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid, etc. or of organic acids such as citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, etc.; persulfates; bromic acid salts; permanganates; nitrobenzenes, etc. may be used. 
     The bleaching solution, bleach-fixing solution, and pre baths thereof may contain, if necessary, various bleaching accelerators. Specific examples of useful bleaching accelerators are described in the following specifications: U.S. Pat. No. 3,893,858, West German Patents 1,290,812 and 2,059,988, JP-A 53-32736, JP-A-53-57831, JP-A-53-37418, JP-A-53 72623, JP-A 53-95630, JP-A-53-95631, JP-A-53-104232, JP A-53-124424, JP A-53-141623, JP-A-53-28426, Research Disclosure, No. 17129 (July, 1978), etc. 
     These bleaching accelerators may be added to light-sensitive materials. These bleaching accelerators are particularly effective in the case of bleach-fixing color light-sensitive materials for photographing use. 
     As fixing agents, there are illustrated thiosulfates, thiocyanates, thioether compounds, thioureas, a large amount of iodide salts, etc., with the use of thiosulfates being popular. Ammonium thiosulfate is most widely usable. As preservatives for the bleach-fixing solution, sulfites, bisulfites, or carbonylbisulfurous acid adducts are preferable. 
     The silver halide color photographic material in the present invention is generally subjected to a water-washing step and/or a stabilizing step after removal of silver. The amount of water to be used in the water-washing step may be selected from a wide range depending upon various factors such as properties of light-sensitive materials (resulting from, for example, used materials such as couplers), end-use, temperature of washing water, number (stage number) of water washing tanks, replenishing manner (counter current or co-current), and the like. Of these, relation between the number of washing tanks and amount of water in multistage countercurrent washing can be determined according to the method described in &#34;Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers&#34;, vol. 64, pp. 248 to 253 (May, 1955). 
     The present invention is now illustrated in more detail by reference to the following examples which, however, are not to be construed as limiting the present invention in any way.

     To each layer were added an antifoggant A-3, a gelatin hardener H-3, and a surfactant. 
     Compounds used for preparing the sample are shown below. ##STR12## 
     Preparation of Samples 102 to 104 
     Samples 102 to 104 were prepared in absolutely the same manner as with Sample 101 except for changing sensitizing dyes used in the 3rd, 4th and 5th layers of Sample 101, to compounds shown in Table 1. 
     Preparation of Samples 105 to 108: 
     Samples 105 to 108 were prepared in absolutely the same manner as with Samples 101 to 104, respectively, except for changing the silver iodide content of the silver halide grains in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 12th and 13th layers of Samples 101 to 104, to 3.7 mol %, 4.5 mol %, 5.0 mol %, 3.5 mol %, 4.5 mol %, 5.5 mol %, 3.6 mol %, and 5.0 mol %, respectively. 
     Preparation of Samples 109 
     Sample 109 was prepared in absolutely the same manner as with Sample 108, except for changing the silver iodide content of the silver halide grains in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 12th and 13th layers of Sample 108, to 4 mol %, 3 mol %, 2 mol %, 4 mol %, 3 mol %, 2 mol %, 3 mol % and 2.5 mol %, respectively. 
     The thus prepared Samples 101 to 109 were exposed to an ISO daylight illuminant described in JIS K 7602, p. 5 through a continuous wedge, then subjected to the following development processing to measure density. ISO speeds were determined according to the method described in JIS K 7613, pp. 3 to 4. 
     As a result, Samples 101 to 109 were found to have a speed of ISO 400. 
     Then, ospenergy spectral sensitivity distribution was determined according to the method described in JIS Z 8105-2018. 
     Results thus obtained are shown in FIG. 2 and Table 1. 
     The interimage effect to the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer was determined as follows. 
     Samples 101 to 109 were exposed to red light through a continuous wedge, then subjected to the following development processing. Separately, Samples 101 to 109 were exposed through a continuous wedge to white light (red light +green light +blue light) with adjusting the three color lights so that the samples gave a gray color after development processing, and subjected to the same development processing. Additionally, the exposure amount of red light employed for the red-light exposure was the same as that of the red light for the white-light exposure. 
     Densities of the development processed samples were measured, and difference in exposure amount, log E (R), between the amount of red light exposure and the exposure amount of the white light giving a cyan density of 1.0 was determined as a value showing an interimage effect to the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer. 
     Interimage effects to the green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer were determined in the same manner. 
     The results thus obtained are tabulated in Table 2. 
     Then, Samples 101 to 109 were cut into 135-size pieces, and Macbeth color chart was photographed using them under daylight, followed by development processing of them to visually compare color reproducibility. 
     Likewise, Macbeth color chart was photographed using them with changing the illumination to a mercury lamp, and color reproducibility was compared as to the above-described samples photographed under daylight. 
     Results thus obtained are shown in Table 3.

     EXAMPLE 2 
     Preparation of Sample 201 to 210 
     Samples 201 to 210 were prepared in absolutely the same manner as with Sample 109 except for adding compounds as shown in Table 4 below. 
     ISO speeds of these Samples 201 to 210 were determined in the same manner as in Example 1, and were confirmed to be ISO 400. 
     Separately, interimage effects to red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer in Samples 201 to 210 were determined in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain the results shown in Table 5. 
     Macbeth chart was photographed using each of the samples under daylight and fluorescent lamp light in the same manner as in Example 1 to visually compare color reproducibility of the samples. The results are tabulated in Table 5. 
     Emulsions A and B 
     A silver bromide emulsion containing cubic grains of 0.15 μ in average grain size was prepared according to the controlled double jet process, and fogged with hydrazine and a gold complex salt at a low pAg (Emulsion B). Silver bromide was deposited on the surface of grains of the thus-prepared emulsion B in a thickness of 250 Å to form a shell around the grains. This emulsion was referred to as emulsion A. ##STR14##

     It is seen from the results shown in Table 5 that saturation can be markedly improved by employing the interimage-providing means of the present invention. 
     EXAMPLE 3 
     Preparation of Samples 301 to 308 
     Samples 301 to 304 were prepared in absolutely the same manner as with Samples 104, 108 and 109 in Example 1 and Sample 206 in Example 2 except for changing the grain size of the light-sensitive silver halide grains in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 12th and 13th layers of Samples 104, 108, 109 and 206 to 1/1.59 times of that of the corresponding silver halide grains in Samples 104, 108, 109 and 206. 
     Similarly, Samples 305 to 308 were prepared in absolutely the same manner as with Samples 104, 108, 109 and 206 except for changing the grain size of the light-sensitive silver halide grains in the above-mentioned emulsion layers to 1/1.36 times of that of the corresponding silver halide grains in Samples 104, 108, 109 and 206. 
     ISO speeds of Samples 301 to 308 so prepared were determined in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, Samples 301 to 304 were found to have a speed of ISO 160. 
     Samples 104, 108, 109, 206 and 301 to 308 were cut into 135 size pieces. These pieces were used to photographs a soccer match under night illumination with mercury lamps at exposing conditions indicated in Table 6 below and subjected to development processing in the same manner as in Example 1. 
     The photographic performance characteristics of the development processed samples are shown in Table 6 below.

     It is clear from Table 6 that the photographic light-sensitive materials having a speed of ISO 100 have an insufficient speed for photographing the abovedescribed soccer match. 
     The interimage effect of each of Samples 301 to 308, 104, 109, 109 and 206 were determined in the same manner as in Example 1, the results being shown in Table 7. 
     These samples were cut into 135-size pieces, and Macbeth color chart was photographed using them under daylight and under mercury lamp light, to compare color reproducibility. In this case the exposure was adjusted in accordance with the speed of each of the samples. The results are shown in Table 8 below.

     It is clear from Table 7 that with the samples having a speed of ISO 160 or more the effect of the content of silver iodide of light-sensitive silver halide emulsions on the interimage effect is remarkably larger than with the samples having a speed of ISO 100. In other words, when the speed becomes higher the interimage effect tends to become lower and, when the content of silver iodide of the light-sensitive silver halide emulsions is specified in accordance with the present invention, the interimage effect becomes remarkable. 
     From Table 8 it is clear that, with the high speed color reversal photographic materials which are suitable for photographing sports, the color reproducibility deteriorates when the spectral sensitivity distribution of the red-sensitive emulsion layer is specified in accordance with the present invention in order to lessen change in color balance due to difference in photographing light source, but the color reproducibility is improved by means for providing interimage effect. 
     The present invention provides a method of forming a color image using a silver halide color reversal photographic material having a high sensitivity and an excellent color reproducibility. 
     In addition, the above-described light-sensitive material undergoes an extremely small variation in photographic properties for change in exposure light source, thus having marked practical advantages. 
     While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
